Foundational Objective

To develop and practise a respect for safety and sanitation in a community or school setting.

Common Essential Learnings Foundational Objectives

To develop an understanding of bacteria and the importance of practising safety to prevent the spread of disease. (COM, IL)
To understand and use the vocabulary, structures, and forms of expression that apply to the beauty industry. (COM)

Learning Objectives	Notes
2.1A To create an awareness of bacteriology. (COM)	Define bacteriology. Identify the types of bacteria. Distinguish between harmful (pathogenic) and helpful (non-pathogenic) bacteria. Discuss examples of pathogenic bacteria such as: Cocci, Bacalli and Spirilla. Discuss the disease or infection caused by each type of bacteria. Explain reproduction of bacteria and how to inhibit bacterial growth. Conduct a classroom experiment for collection of bacteria on implements. If the implements have bacteria, discuss the possible reasons for the bacteria, e.g.: the combs were not sanitized, the chemical disinfectant was not mixed properly etc. Discuss the implications of not sanitizing properly and using the implement on another client.
2.2A To demonstrate safe methods for handling chemicals and equipment. (TL, COM)	Define sterilization. Define Decontamination: Explain the different methods of sterilization. Determine why sterilization of implements etc. is essential after serving each client. Demonstrate the proper use of chemicals when mixing liquid sanitizing agents. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
2.3A To outline procedures that promote health and prevent the spread of disease. (COM)	Demonstrate classroom procedures for sanitizing implements.
2.4A To adhere to sanitary and sterilization rules and regulations as they apply to the cosmetology trade. (PSVS, CCT)	Students should practise the sanitizing procedure to establish a routine for sanitizing after each use.
